Question About hibernating...PLEASE HELP!!

[EllenSidebotham]

Hi, my name is Ellen, and i really need someone to help me answer these questions...

so, my bearded dragon is always on the cold side if his cage, where there is no heating. He started doing this in winter, but it seems like he is hibernating... Do bearded dragons hibernate? If they do, about how long? My beardie has been hibernating for a while now. he started at the end of winter, went through spring, and it is mid-summer now, and he is still hibernating. I know he is alive, because he opens his eyes when i pick him up. PLEASE HELP ME FIND AN ANSWER TO THESE QUESTIONS... I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO... DO I WAKE HIM UP, OR LET HIM KEEP HIBERNATING? MOST ANIMALS THAT HIBERNATE ARE AWAKE BY MID-SUMMER????!!!!!
PLEASE HELP... IT IS MUCH NEEDED, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MY BEARDIE. THANK YOU FOR THOSE WHO HELP!
-Ellen
